Karl-Anthony Towns has shown unwavering support for his Minnesota Timberwolves teammate, Anthony Edwards.
On a recent episode of Podcast P presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, Towns addressed concerns about his support for Edwards.
“I feel it’s weird, the media tries to make it seem like I don’t want Ant to succeed,” Towns said.
“I’m the biggest Ant cheerleader I can be, I’m the biggest fan. I want to see him win, I want to see him grow, to be the face of the NBA.”
Towns emphasized his desire for Edwards to achieve unprecedented success in the league.
“I want to see him do things that have never been done in the NBA,” Towns added.
Edwards had an impressive season last year, averaging career-high 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game.
The Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals where they ultimately fell against the Dallas Mavericks.
